Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
All that remains of the medieval fortress of the Lords of Oupia are sections of wall, vestiges of the enclosure, and a tower. In 1860, Romain Iché bought the château, which passed to his grandson André in 1970. The latter undertook the renovation of the estate and cellar, making the property a benchmark in the Minervois appellation. André passed away in 2007, leaving his life's work to his daughter Marie-Pierre.
